I kind of like his -1 Anguished unmaking +1 Ruinous path to cut down on self damage. I don't know how I feel about losing a secure the waste for an extra grasps of darkness. Secure has been so solid for me, even if its just making 3 tokens to block. I also like Reality Smasher in the board, but the is mostly due to my store having two mono blue players playing Brain in the Jar, and Sphinx's tutelage. Smasher seems decent against tokens though.

After piddling around trying to make a UR Modern Aggro deck, I realized I have just about everything for a Modern Atarka Red deck. This isn't for GPs or anything, I'd just like a valid Modern deck to play in that format casually. Creatures: 16 x4 Monastery Swiftspear x4 Elvish Visionary x4 Abbot of Keral Keep x4 Duskwatch Recruiter Spells: 24 x4 Atarka's Command x4 Lightning Bolt x4 Lava Spike x4 Wild Slash x3 Become Immense x3 Temur Battle Rage x2 Roast Lands: 20 x9 Mountain x4 Forest x3 Cinder Glade/ x4 Wooded Foothills Where I need help is the mana. I can see reasons for using either Glade or Gorge or both, and also the red/green split. I'm sure there's something better than Duskwatch Recruiter, but I just really like that card and wanna play it. I also think there's probably something better than Roast in the main, but I'm not sure what, and maybe one less e: Just realized Gorge isn't fetchable, it'd be Stomping Ground.

You're a GENIUS! I'll make adjustments now. EDIT: Updated list Deck: Rough Modern Werewolves Axed the Planeswalkers, also the Huntmasters and Wolfir Silverhearts which I wasnt to keen on saying goodbye to. In their place are Moonlight Hunts and Collected Companys. Also replace the Scorned Villagers with Village Mesengers (torn between them, Reckless Waif and Wolfbitten Captive).

Alris posted:EDIT: Updated list Deck: Rough Modern Werewolves Neglected Heirloom and Moonmist, while extremely flavorful, seem loose. There's no way you should be playing a reasonably aggressive red deck in Modern and not have four copies of lightning bolt. I'd cut the equipment and at least 2 moonmists for 4 bolts, then maybe find some two more werewolves since the math with only 25 werewolves seems a touch sketchy for collected company the thing is, I'm not actually sure moonmist is where you want to be. Modern is not like standard, in that there aren't that many board states where you've got a bunch of creatures and aren't already just winning the game. seems like a reasonable sideboard card for the Company matchup or maybe affinity depends on how their draw lines up. e: also with 21 lands and a curve that tops out at 3 you should definitely be playing some number (probably 4) of copperline gorge Johnny Five-Jaces fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jun 6, 2016 |

Unless I am totally missing something, Moonlight Hunt and Moonmist don't target any wolves or werewolves you control, so no trigger will occur for Silverfur Partisan. Cult of the Waxing moon does have a nice interaction with Moonmist though If you're going to run collected company I would cut some more non-creature spells main deck and also work on keeping the mana costs for the sideboard creatures down at three or less to maximize collected company unless they are silver bullets / win the game creatures, personally. Neglected Heirloom can go easily. I know you said casual modern but still : )

Total beginner building my first deck. Modern. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/zombie-shitstorm/ The plan with this deck is to survive until the fifth turn, at which point Army of the Damned can be cast (with the help of Crypt Ghast to double my mana pool). Amulet of Vigor will allow my 13 zombie tokens to enter untapped. The other creatures will either work as defense until I can cast Army of the Damned, or to help buff up my zombie army. Dark Petition and Diabolic Tutor will help ensure that I have the key cards in my hand by the fifth turn. Thoughts? Is this a stupid strategy or could this actually work? EDIT: I should point out that the only reason I'm using 1x Death Baron instead of 4x is financial restrictions. That's a pricey card.

If your goal is to be competitive in tournaments, it's important to understand that, in Modern, every one of your opponents can either kill you on turn 4 or earlier with some interaction or on turn 7 or so with a ton of disruption. Right now, you're not capable of competing against either of those, your cards are too expensive(in terms of mana) and frequently too weak. I suspect the basic strategy of trying to cast Army isn't going to be strong, but if you want to try you're going to want cheap discard (Inquisition of Kozilek, Thoughtseize, Duress) and cheap removal/sweepers and probably some card draw with the plan of holding on until you can cast Army. You would want to cut the lords (such as Death Baron), your cheap creatures, and Amulet, since if you cast Army you're likely to win anyway. If you want to do more of a zombie deck, you're going to want to cut the expensive cards and tutors for more cheap creatures(and higher quality ones than Walking Corpse) discard, and removal. The one mana discard spells are going to be pricey(probably pricier than Death Baton), and some of the other cards may be as well, but Modern is, unfortunately, an expensive format to play. If you're interested, you can send me a PM and I can try to help you test/build tonight in the free program xmage.

If your goal is to win with zombie creatures, I'd recommend a dredge deck, something like this. In Dredge style decks, you're essentially dumping your library into your graveyard and using that to do things with cards like Bridge from Below or Narcomoeba. It's not considered a truly top tier deck currently, but it's decent and can beat anyone. It's also relatively cheap as Modern decks go (although you will experience some sticker shock, especially in the mana base), and it should be possible to build a weaker but still functional manabase for less. If your goal is to go for a more traditional tribal deck, I would probably try to build an aggressive base black deck. I'm at work, so I don't want to try to put together a list, but I suspect that it should be possible to build a deck that can win games against good decks, although you will generally be an underdog.

caiman posted:Total beginner building my first deck. Modern. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/zombie-shitstorm/ Any combo that involves casting a creature with >3 toughness, and then untapping with the creature still in play is only going to work 5% of the time. Tutoring up combo peices is just a huge waste of mana when your combo fizzles to lightning bolt. Either go all-in on the combo with more amulets, some kind of mana ramp, and a bunch of discard to clear the way, or go all-in on the zombie tribal beatdowns with better zombies and a few cheap removal spells. They are very different gameplans and trying to do both just makes you good at neither. Your going to draw lots of nonfunctional hands where you have only lords and combo pieces, or a bunch of cheap zombies plus two copies of Dark Petition. Either way Undead Warchief and Walking Corpse should not be in your deck. Gravecrawler is probably the best zombie in modern, and anything from this list would be better as well. If you want to be competitive, just build dredge like Elyv said. It's really good right now. little munchkin fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Jun 6, 2016 |

After that it's pretty slim pickings for good creatures, budget or otherwise. Goblin Guide if you want to spend money, maybe young pyromancer if you don't? Even dragon fodder would be better than Visionary. I think Rift Bolt or Searing Blaze would be better than Wild Slash. Mutagenic Growth is another cheap card that works really well with prowess creatures. Do not play cinder glade in a deck that absolutely needs lands to come into play untapped. You can also look up Bushwhacker Zoo or 8-whack for some cheap-ish decks that are doing a similar thing but are more proven.

Yeah I'd like to stay cheaper until I decide if I want to play loads of Modern; I've been watching Goblin Guides, but, yeah... Wild Nacatl looks good (and affordable), and I already have one Young Pyro so I'd be willing to buy into those. How many shocklands should I realistically be running in a deck like this? Two Temple Garden, two Stomping Ground, with eight fetches? More duals? As for fetches, I have a playset of Bloodstained Mire I could run in addition to my Wooded Foothills, but that doesn't fetch Temple Garden. Windswept Heaths are pretty cheap now, relatively. E: Although if upgrading all the necessary parts to make this deck what it should be ends up costing THAT much more, it might be cheaper to just throw cash at Guides and make a RDW with what I already have.  I just wanna be over the  hump and have another deck that won't rotate besides my Commander deck.

The caveat is that this list is over a year old and maybe gets stomped by other decks in a super-obvious way. Just food for thought.

It's like the turn 1 infect deck that has tainted strike in that you need to mulligan a lot, it is high variance, but when it does it's thing it will win if not answered. You can make it rain zombie tokens, which I think is cool. I mean, if you just need a deck to go play modern and chill it's ok for now. I think the most powerful "zombie" deck in modern is suicide zoo, if you want to get all competitive.

Okay. Well. Yeah, upgrading that Atarka Red deck would cost me more than I'm willing to part with to get into a format I'm not sure I'll have lots of games for. I think I've found another Aggro deck that I'm missing all of three (playsets) for. Red Deck Bushwhacks Creatures: 16 x4 Monastery Swiftspear x4 Abbot of Keral Keep x4 Young Pyromancer x4 Reckless Bushwhacker Spells: 24 x4 Rift Bolt x4 Lightning Bolt x4 Lava Spike x4 Wild Slash x4 Dragon Fodder x4 Searing Blaze Lands: 20 x20 Mountain No Goblin Guides, and using Amazon for singles it's costing me all of $22 to buy what I don't already own, and it's hard to beat the cost of the manabase  .This deck would let me burn out folks and also go wide on 1/1 tokens between YP and Fodder, the dream being hitting Dragon Fodder and surging Reckless Bushwhacker on turn 4 after playing out a Young Pyromancer on a previous turn (and having it survive to T4). It's light on one-drop creatures, but Zurgo Bellstriker is... boring, and Guides are something I could invest in/trade for later, and between Lightning Bolt, Rift Bolt, Wild Slash and Monastery Swiftspear, I should have some sort of action on T1 as it is. If the Abbots have me chucking spells more than playing them, I'll tap in the Bellstrikers. Outside of Boiling Earth and Roast I'm not sure what goes in the sideboard for this deck, but I guess I'll just copy someone else's  ninja-edit: Hordeling Outburst seems too slow? But that's an option too. I don't expect to make it to turn five and not have the game already won or lost by then, which is when I could outburst and start whacking bushes.

It looks like a pain for BW Control. gently caress you Saito. Seriously though, it seems pretty bad for BW if it gains traction? Lots of counters and flyers are bad news for Planeswalkers. I suppose a lot of early removal forces them to stay off the board, they probably can't rely on curving out, I just feel that BW will struggle to get a win condition down.

I think it'll be fun to play even if it's nowhere near top tier; I like to play Aggro, in any case. As for sideboard, I think a Boiling Earth-type card for token decks (pretty sure there's strictly better "deal 1 damage to every creature" cards than Boiling Earth since I won't be using its Awaken option), Smash to Smithereens for Affinity, Roast for Eldrazi/bigger creature decks, and that's about all I know of? Where else should I aim for the sideboard?

Decided to make a Fevered Visions Deck! (Standard/Budget) Deck: Fevered Tutelage //Lands 4 Highland Lake 9 Island 9 Mountain //Spells 4 Alchemist's Vial  4 Fevered Visions  4 Fiery Temper 3 Hydrolash 4 Lightning Axe 4 Magmatic Insight 3 Molten Vortex 4 Sphinx's Tutelage 4 Tormenting Voice //Creatures 4 Manic Scribe Display deck statisticsThis deck focuses mainly on using Sphinx's Tutelage as a win condition. As such, much of the deck is devoted to drawing cards to trigger it. Fevered Visions compliments Sphinx's Tutelage by giving you an extra draw each turn and forcing the opponent to take extra draws as well. It is also a secondary win condition, if the opponent is unable to empty their hand sufficiently. Manic Scribe is also included to mill additional cards, and with plenty of ways to discard, it is not too difficult to enable Delirium. Support spells are mostly focused in three categories, removal, delay and draw. Removal and delay are both meant to stall aggro decks and draw gets you the necessary cards or triggers Sphinx's Tutelage to mill the opponent. The removal pieces are Lightning Axe, Fiery Temper and Molten Vortex. Fiery Temper and Molten Vortex can also pivot into our secondary win condition and be used on the opponent directly. For delay, we have Alchemist's Vial, which can stall large single threats and Hydrolash, which can neuter small threats. As an artifact, Alchemist's Vial also helps to enable Delirium. (Additionally, both draw cards.) However, Magmatic Insight and Tormenting Voice are the main tools for drawing. As for strategy, you mostly want to focus on drawing as fast as possible, making sure to play Sphinx's Tutelage and Fevered Visions once they are available. Manic Scribe is also a good early play, provided you have a path to Delirium. If you don't, he still makes a good blocker for small threats. Removal should be used fairly sparingly. It's sometimes better to hold back a land as well, so that you have something to pitch to Magmatic Insight or Molten Vortex. Leaving one mana open if you have Alchemist's Vial out can also buy you a turn if you anticipate a large threat such as Ormendahl. Overall, it has been a very interesting deck, which you can currently buy online for under 2 tickets. Enjoy!
